Oxygen: Cluster headaches respond to steroid pack and oxygen therapy. Behavioral modification can also help. Seek a good neurologist.

HORTON'S: These variations of headaches can cause extremely intense pain and awaken in the early am hours out of sleep. Taking medication at time is usually fruitless, but if you breath 100% oxygen over 3-5 min, this may stop the process. Dr sherlekar advises steroids, which can often stop the pattern, and have had success with topamax (topiramate) and depakote. Your best approach here is prevention.
